Do you agree with this?

I mean, as far as attributes to associate either realistically or mythically with animals? Yeah, that's a pretty solid list. All the animals on the list either actually possess the relevant attribute insofar as animals are concerned, or are mythologically associated with it.

If you were to extend this to other attributes not modeled in D&D(luck, courage, perception, and so on — whatever you can come up with), what creatures would you pick?
Do you think they could have picked more interesting, less mundane creatures for the spells since they're, well, D&D spells?

If we were going to extend it to other attributes, I'd probably assign luck to the cat instead. Dexterity would then to the Squirrel, cuz while cats are indeed dexterous, they got nothing on squirrels. The Lion is the mythical symbolic animal of courage (although like the owl, they aren't really noteworthy in real life). Perception is traditonally the domain of the Eagle or Hawk ("Eagle Eyed" "Hawk Eyed"). Speed, of course, is the Cheetah.

The only animal on the OG list that didn't made that much sense to me was the eagle since I seldom associated birds with charisma.
